In message for World Day of Prayer for Vocations, Pope Francis reflects on exodus
April 14, 2015
The Holy See Press Office has released “Exodus, a fundamental experience of vocation,” Pope Francis’s Message for the 52nd World Day of Prayer for Vocations, which will take place on the Fourth Sunday of Easter.
“The exodus experience is paradigmatic of the Christian life, particularly in the case of those who have embraced a vocation of special dedication to the Gospel,” the Pope said in his message, which was dated March 29 and released April 14.
“This calls for a constantly renewed attitude of conversion and transformation, an incessant moving forward, a passage from death to life like that celebrated in every liturgy, an experience of Passover,” he added. “From the call of Abraham to that of Moses, from Israel’s pilgrim journey through the desert to the conversion preached by the prophets, up to the missionary journey of Jesus which culminates in his death and resurrection, vocation is always a work of God.”
